Échecs luxuriants no 2

Bilodeau, Simon

Échecs luxuriants no 2 —

This painting is taken from a series of three works exhibited as part of an installation project at Maison de la culture Frontenac in 2009. Created layer by layer, an extensive array of marks and signs bear witness to the slow process of accumulation and refinement that shaped the painting. This process is crucial to the modulation of surfaces from which the desolate landscapes that exemplify Simon Bilodeau’s work emerge. Dissolving in the pictorial space, the image materializes only in the form of traces and structures that evoke the complex process of construction and deconstruction intrinsic to the painting.
